ABOUT US

​FEEDING CHILDREN. BRINGING HOPE.

Since 2005 the Chilliwack Bowls of Hope Society has operated the Feed the Children Program through the efforts of community-based volunteers and offenders, with the support and cooperation of the Chilliwack Community Correctional Centre.

Our program currently provides soup and other hot lunch items, along with milk and fruit, to 21 schools within the Chilliwack School District. Through donations from businesses, community partners, and the public, 750 children in need receive over 14,600 bowls of soup each month.​The Feed the Children Program is making a big difference in the Chilliwack community. Studies have shown that increasing the amount of nourishment that a child receives improves their cognitive understanding, particularly their speed and accuracy of information retrieval in working memory. This results in higher academic achievement and correlates to improvements in behavior which decreases classroom interruptions, which benefits all students and teachers.
